Since this pen has a small and narrow point, it is best for spot treatments rather than larger, ground-in stains. Typically, a couple of fast presses with the tip is enough to release enough solution. You don't need to press down all the time. Instead of pressing the tip down at an angle as if you were writing or rubbing the stain with the tip, press it straight down.

The canola oil and tomato juice were gone, but the lip gloss was still visible. I used the pen on another shirt that had collected splatters of ketchup and mustard.

But last week, I broke one out for a small stain on my shirt. I can't remember what the stain was, but it took it right out. Then I spent the next half hour trying to figure out what smelled so bad. I thought one of my children or cats had thrown up somewhere. I finally realized it was coming from my shirt! It smelled very strongly of vomit. I had to change my shirt and wash my skin underneath to get the smell out.
